Lionesses boss falling in love with 'home away from home' England, the fans and sporting culture... now she wants revenge on Spain

- FROM TOM VICTOR in Zurich

SARINA WIEGMAN has yet to fully conquer the English language - but she's determined to conquer the Spanish in Basel tomorrow.

Spain came out on top when the teams met in the 2023 World Cup final, and the Lionesses boss now has a chance to take the sweetest revenge.

Wiegman has sometimes been forced to get her head around uniquely English expressions.

After reacting with bafflement to the phrase 'the cat's out of the bag' during the World Cup, her response to talk of a 'subpar' performance by England in the semifinal win over Italy on Tuesday was to say, “Oh, we're talking about golf now?”

But when it comes to getting the message across to her players, nothing has been lost in translation.

"I have been here four years and it just feels like my home away from home,” said the Dutch-born coach ahead of tomorrow's Euro final against the world champions.
